Not worth the price at all. Made in India, cost .50 to make, i know i lived there!!!
Looks like an ice bucket, so it has dual use

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This fits well into my kitchen and looks nice right on the counter which allows me to easily save items for my composter.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I really liked this pail when I first received it. However, it developed a leak on the seam and created a HUGE mess on my kitchen counter! Yuck!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I enjoy using this compost bucket in the kitchen as it holds 3 days worth of food scraps for a family of 5. Unfortunately, the handle fell off after 7 months of daily use. I hope to get this fixed. I use the pail with compostable bags and the pail stay very clean.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This pail looks attractive on the counter-top next to our under-mount stainless steel sink. The lid fits tightly to hold in odors, but we do empty it into the compost maker in the yard frequently. We would not expect to actually make compost on the kitchen counter--just collect kitchen scraps to take out to the compost maker. The pail rinses out so easily that there are no residual odors. It's more convenient and less expensive than using carbon filters to cover up odors. Sometimes, simpler really is better. We are vegetarians and have abundant compostable waste. We find that if we cut or tear citrus and avacado rinds into smallish pieces and crunch egg shells in one hand while dropping them into the pail, they break down faster and the pail holds more scrap. This product is worth the price.

Looks great in kitchen--guest inquired if it was a champagne bucket.

It does stain easily but it's inside where you can't see it.

It's lightweight and easy to carry to compost pile outside.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This is a great product, it can be used on the counter or underneath, has perfect capacity for kitchen compostable items and cleans up easily with soap and water or in the dishwasher. Price is good and matches quality. I've even given this product for a gift!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I use this pail in my kitchen to store food scraps and fruit rinds until I can run it down to the compost pile. It is very roomy and doesn't take on food odors. There is nothing I would change about it! Great product. Great price.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

good product, but says it's dishwasher safe & after 1 time in the dishwasher, already has rust on it. nevertheless, it's a good, lightweight compost pail and does a good job holding in odors

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Got this as a gift for our father and he really likes it.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This is my second compost bucket. I had issues with the first one so I knew what I didn't want. I wanted something that wouldn't break and had a tight lid. This fits all my criteria and looks nice on my counter.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I looked around for a long time for the simplest, large-capacity counter-top compost bucket. I knew I wanted stainless steel because it's so easy to disinfect. I've tried other buckets and had them fall apart, grow fly-babies, etc. A friend had this one in her kitchen and told me that despite it not having a fancy charcoal filter system, she found it to be odor-free and big enough to hold scraps from large cooking jobs.

The bucket has been great, and Gardner's Supply got it to us quickly. Just rinsing it and setting it out in the sun for 15 minutes gets rid of smells. Hooray!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I bought my husband this for Father's Day and we both love it. It holds a nice capacity without taking up too much room. The cover fits well and keeps any odors inside. And it's easy to clean!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Nice solution for kitchen scraps and coffee grounds. Lid fits tightly to contain smell.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

stays on the counter until I take it to the pile. very clean looking

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This is a very attractive stainless steel bin I have sitting next to my prep counter. The lid started to rust and I emailed the company. The rep called that week and I said unless it starts to look unsightly I will live with it. I wanted to support the fact that the company is employee owned. Well, I finally called and asked for a replacement lid and it [...]. I love this bin and I love dealing with this company with courteous customer service and who STAND BEHIND what they sell!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

The knob came off the cover while washing it and rust started on the bottom and sides. Gardener's Supply is already processing a refund.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

The stainless steal is rusting on the bottom of the bucket.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I love it-- attractive, reasonable price, odorless. I can just throw it in the dishwasher if I want.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

perfect size for under the sink, convenient handle, fits in the dishwasher.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I keep this container in my kitchen and no one notices it's there. Odor free and attractive to look at.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Keep it in the kitchen ,when cutting up fruit etc, just put scraps in there ,when full take out to compost bin, very easy.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Nice size and its convient. The only thing wrong with it is that it rusts along the out side of the bottom where it seems to be welded. One piece construction would solve that.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

We were really looking forward to using a compost pail that isn't plastic AND doesn't have one of those air filters. The filters never seemed to do much--plus they become a haven for fruit fly larvae in the heat of summer. This one really seeemed to fit the bill, but after only two weeks or so, we discovered a small pinhole leak in the bottom and compost liquid had leaked out all over the counter underneath the pail. Sorry to say that I'll be returning it.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

We have had the stainless steel composter for at least 15 years or more and if you run it through the dishwasher, it looks like a new pail. So we bought one for my son (as requested) and another kind for my niece. We use it every day. Gardeners Supply is the only place I have seen them for sale and at around the same price we paid a long time ago.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

We got the pail in early to mid June. We use the pail to bring out kitchen waste out to our composter. After two weeks of use, it is rusting around the area of where the lid sits on the pail. Not too happy about that.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This is a quality container, lid fits well, and handle is ample. I wish it was twice as large.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Used in the kitchen for scraps

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

The City has a composting program, with which comes a rather unsightly green, plastic container we keep on the floor under the kitchen sink. With my back problem, I need something counter-top and this sleek, lightweight, unbreakable compost bucket fits the bill perfectly. It's not quite as stylish as the cobalt blue, ceramic one I'd previously bought from Gardener's Supply -- the cover of which my husband dropped and the bottom of which I'll now have to use as a planter. But it'll do the trick just fine.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

It's pleasing to the eye, a gardeners best friend.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I purchased this pail to hold items destined for my compost pile in the garden. It looks very attractive on the counter top and cuts down the number of trips to transport compostable materials to the bin outside.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I like the size and weight. I purchased two pails. One pail the knob on the top has broken off(rust). The other one seems fine.
Great product except for the top knob.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I prefer the look of the crockery, but continued to break the lid. This will not break, is easy to clean, but does show all the spots that stainless always shows.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I use this product in my kitchen.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

nice looking pail for compost scraps. Too
bad it started to rust on the top of the lid
the first time I got water on it!! :<(

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Finally...I don't have to use my mixing bowls as a collector anymore, I was worried about not cleaning it well enough after each use and this takes care of that problem. Nice size, holds a lot and the lid prevents you from smelling anything. Even my husband was impressed with the quality and price.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I fill up this compost pail almost daily because I feed my family lots of fruits and vegetables, but it's just right for the amount of food scraps we generate. It's easy to empty and clean, and best of all, it looks so much more attractive than that old plastic lettuce tub we used to use! My mom visited recently and commented on our nice, new compost pail, so I ordered her one for her birthday. After all, she taught me how to compost!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Easy to use and clean

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I have a small kitchen. However, composting is very important to me. This is wonderful. Would have liked it a tiny smaller.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I love this product. It has the best capacity for what I use it for...kitchen scraps. There's no time for it to stink up b/c it's small enough that it has to be emptied fairly frequently (at least in our house). It cleans easily and fits nicely in a tight space under the kitchen sink. I don't see the need for bags or a filter--just use it!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I really do like the stainless steel compost pails, and I use them constantly...but, they are prone to rust, especially the lids, which surprised me. I washed them in the dishwasher after emptying them, and after the first time I did so, I noticed rust spots on the lid. Perhaps I simply shouldn't have put them in the dishwasher...?

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Perfect for all those table scraps and coffee grounds. Nice looking on the counter.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This looks great sitting on the kitchen counter between the coffeemaker and the breadbox, it holds a couple days worth of scraps and teh best part is, NO SMELL, the lid fits perfectly, it also rinses out easily and cleanly, no scrubbing required.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I have owned this product for a long time. When we went on vacation, our neighbor came over and fed and watered our cats. She asked me to order her one because she liked mine so much. You can't go wrong with this product.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Holds a lot, easy to clean and attractive on kitchen counter top. Doesn't retain odors.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I liked this compost bucket because it is stainless steel and not chrome like most available styles, and matches our kitchen. As well, I like the simple pail design which makes it easy to empty and clean. We compost a lot of food scraps and it fills quickly, in 2-3 days. I wish it was a bit larger so I don't have to empty it as frequently.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This is a good size for everyday use. Cleans in the dishwasher easily. The only drawback is that, even though the lid appears to fit closely, fruit flies can somehow get through. They come flying up whenever I take the lid off.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Sturdy attractive product, just what I was looking for.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I'm very happy with this product and the price was right. It will not stain, is easy to clean, the lid is airtight, and it's attractive.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I bought this compost pail to replace the unsightly plastic pots I used for my kitchen scraps. I am really happy with it. It looks really nice in the kitchen -- more like an ice bucket than a compost pail. It does not leak, and it can contain a lot. I love it!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Jury still out on this compost pail. Size is great and construction is sturdy. However, it's SS made in India, which is definitely not food grade. I'm already seeing signs of rust & I've only used it for 2-3 wks. Will watch this carefully and see if I need to contact cust. service.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Do not purchase!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I have been using this compost pail for three weeks now and have been very satisfied. It looks nice on the counter, does not let odors out, and is easily washes after being emptied.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

We have recycled coffee grounds, fruit and vegetable kitchen scraps by means of worm composting for more than 25 years. We used all types of compost pails to collect the scraps from used milk containers to expensive ceramic pails. The brushed stainless is the best yet. It looks nice, has a slim foot print for its volume and does the best to seal in odors of anything we've used. Why only 4 stars - after 6 weeks of use, a small ring of rust stain has developed (it polishes off) indicating possibly an inferior grade of stainless steel. We will have to see if it holds up over time.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Within 2 weeks, we noticed rust on the interior of the pail. Also, the weld on the knob is looking tarnished, and it may fall off soon. Pail made in India, probably with cheap quality stainless steel. A plastic, Folgers coffee can or two may be a cheaper alternative.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

The bucket works well at containing odors and holds a good quantity of garbage scraps.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Looks great. Everything is made of stainless steel except for the screw holding the knob on the lid that started to rust the first time I washed it and now we have a pool of rust in the lid. I suspect the knob will eventually fall off when the screw rusts through. I don't understand why the manufacturer couldn't spend a few more pennies to make this a great product. It's not.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I purchased one for myself and one for my daughter-in-law. We both really like this compost pail. It looks good enough to keep on the counter, the cover holds in odors and it's easy to clean. The price is very reasonable, too.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

We use this for compost items that don't go to the chickens. It is the perfect size for a family of 4.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

won't rust, and easy clean

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I love the size, fits perfectly under the cupboard beside the trash can. The price was right and the quality was great. I would recommend this compost pail to anyone.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Thanks to the other reviews I have been gentle with the top knob and have not had any problems with it falling off. Nice looking, good size, lid fits well with compost bags folded over the top rim. If the knob were to come off it would require major surgery with a large soldering iron or hardware installation but "so far so good".

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I couldn't be happier with the Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail. It matches the Stainless fixtures on my sink very well, so it is an attractive yet practical addition to our kitchen. I've been looking for a compost pail that would add style AND be functional -- this is it. It is definitely odor free and the sturdy handle makes carrying and dumping very easy. I highly recommend it.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I had been collecting kitchen scraps for compost in a ceramic bowl and my husband wanted something with a lid. This one is great... Great capacity, has a handle for easy transport to our compost tumbler, and looks nice, too. We have been using it with BioBags (food waste compostable bags) for even greater ease and cleanliness. The only drawback is that my husband's hands are naturally oily and he leaves fingerprints on the lid.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Exactly what I expected. Great compost pail for the counter. Right size and style

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Looks nice, seals well and holds a lot.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

We replaced a porcelain compost container with this. It is easier to clean and looks great on our counter. It is easy to empty in the outdoor compost bin. The one drawback is that the bottom is "sprung". It occasionally pops out with a loud band and needs to be pushed back in to sit flat on the counter. We empty it daily so odor is not a problem. But without a vented top, odor could build up unless emptied and rinsed daily.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This kitchen compost bucket is great! It is well designed with a properly fitted lid making it convenient to open and close with one hand. No smells escape. It holds sufficient quantity to allow for several days of compost collection. Very easy to clean!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Such a great alternative to the ugly plastic tub we used last year. Cleans up beautifully and is just the right size for kitchen scraps.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I got this for Mother's Day. SIX days later, it had started rusting, and the handle fell off as the screw holding it to the lid rusted through! I am dumbfounded by all the positive reviews!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I use this item to keep all of my kitchen scraps until I am ready to add them to my composter. The pail fits nicely under my sink, doesn't leak or have an odor. Best of all, it's easy to clean,

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I debated spending the extra $$ for a compost pail with a filter, but I think I made the right choice. If you use the biobags you need to empty the pail before the bag begins to degrade and leak, so there realy isn't time for odors to develop. I would tend to empty the filtered pail less often so they would need to be scrubbed clean and they are harder to clean than the smooth stainless.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

The other reviews were very helpful in making my purchase. The only thing that I was worried about was that it wouldn't "blend in" on the counter. But that isn't the case. It has an unassuming place beside the sink; you don't really notice that it's there.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This product is everything they say it is. I even bought one for a gift.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Good capacity and tight fitting lid to avoid odors

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This pail is the best. I looked at the heavy ceramic pails - too heavy and too big for my small countertop. This pail can get heavy if you fill it to the brim but it's so easy to carry with the handle and easy to clean out. Should have bought it sooner.... just didn't want to pay more than a few bucks to store trash! So glad I bit the bullet and got this pail. It's a great keeper!!!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This is my first attempt at collecting kitchen scraps for the compost heap. I am very pleased with this pail.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

nice to have something attractive in the kitchen for scraps

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I purchased this pail to replace my old and very disgusting plastic container. This one is very sturdy and attractive. It could be a little larger - we tend to fill it up in a day or 2, but otherwise it's great. we've had no problems with odours even without a charcoal filter.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Was going to get the ceramic ones but was deterred by the comments regarding breaking. This one looks good and can be carried out to the chicken coop and composting area. Looks good on the kitchen counter and holds a lot.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I keep my composter pail right by the sink to collect the daily coffee grounds and vegie waste. I haul the remains down to my compost bin every few days. I like it so well, I just had one sent to a friend who wants to start composting - a great house warming gift.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I love the size and look of this and it fits great in our kitchen. Best of all, it doesn't release bad odors and its easy to clean!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This pail holds quite a bit - now I can make the trip to the compost pile every 4-5 days instead of 4-5 TIMES a day! It looks great in my kitchen & its good looks are the only thing that finally convinced my husband to let me keep it out on the counter most of the time. Handle very useful for both myself and the kids to use. LOVE being able to pop it into the dishwasher. Also the "brushed" stainless steel means that it doesn't show all the fingerprints like some stainless.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I leave the bucket on the kitchen counter. It looks great & is a reminder not to use the garbage disposal or trash can when preparing meals, cleaning veggies or after making coffee. I use it for all kitchen scraps (not meat) and I even toss in leaves or spent flowers from house plants. After I empty it in the compost bin-I just rinse it out & it's ready to use!!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

The stainless steel looks great on your counter!
Just the right size.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Looks great on the counter. Holds alot. Easy to clean, no smell even after a few days of kitchen scrap collection. Only 4 stars because the manufacturer didn't use a stainless steel screw to screw on the little knob on the lid, and so it's starting to rust. I will just have to replace that screw.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Stores nicely under the kitchen sink when I'm not filling it or looks nice on the countertop when I am. Love that I can't smell a thing when the lid is on! Great size for typical kitchen waste. Very pleased with this product.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This is a perfect compost pail.It's large enough to hold a couple of days waste,if you can't get out to empty it.Cleans up easily,and best of all,doesn't hold smells.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

It fits perfectly near kitchen sink, saves me from running back and forth to the backyard. At first I thought it was too small but it holds quite a bit of kitchen scraps.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Previously, to store our kitchen scraps, we used a plastic food container, which became increasingly difficult to clean, retained stains and eventually cracked.
This steel pot has artistic contours, has a bail for easy carry and responds well to thorough cleaning and disinfection. Walking out to the compost bin no longer causes embarrassment -- to the contrary.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This container looks nice enough to sit on my kitchen counter. The lid fits snug so you can't smell the food scraps. It's sturdy- we were using a ceramic cookie jar and my husband broke the lid. Now, I can grab it and take it out to the compost pile.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Looks good in the kitchen and is very easy to clean. It could be a little bit bigger, but otherwise no complaints.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Works.
Better looking than the beat old bucket I used to use.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This does a good job--it keeps odors in check, it cleans easily, and looks okay (just not "sleek"). But one really needs to generate a lot of kitchen scraps to make the size really useful--I don't, and I'm a vegetarian. Would be better if about 2/3rds or 1/2 the size.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I like having an attractive pail to put my kitchen scraps in.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I bought this and 50 biobags as part of an advertised special and so far, I'm pleased with the results. We are on a well and septic system, so we have to compost everything rather than use a garbage disposal. The metal pail is clean, neat, the lid fits tightly and keeps most offensive odors out of the air (unless it is open and one has put the wrong sort of kitchen scraps into the bucket) and sits quietly in the corner on the counter. I've had it in the dishwasher and it holds up nicely, but as long as you use the bags the need to wash it is minimal.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This is very attractive in my kitchen. My only complaint is that the bottom of the knob on the top of the bucket rusts....which means it isn't totally stainless steel.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I keep a plastic container inside as a liner for ease of dumping out back and keeps pail clean and in use.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I love that it is stainless steel: no taking on odors or discoloration from the rotting food inside. It has a handle, so it's easy to take out and dump. The only down side is that the lid does not have any vents in it, so condensation collects inside.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Very handy and attractive by my kitchen sink. Lid keeps odors at bay.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Very clean w/ a great lid. Looks great on counter top.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I read that the product gets rusty, but I did not realize this soon. I only purchased this a month ago.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Lid fits well. No odor and no fruit flies! Easy to clean. Less expensive than other compost pails and looks nice. Very happy with this purchase.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

We fill it 1 1/2 times a day so we didn't need a filter. Just rinse with plain water. Looks nice, lid fits well, fits easily under sink.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Amazing, it dosen't smell at all. It's the perfect size for the kitchen, just dump it once a week into the compost pile.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I like this basic but attractive compost container. I did not want to mess with a filter. The finnish is nice, the size is good, and the handle moves well with no catches.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

The older version was a much more well-made bucket. The top fit snuggly and easily and the stainless washed up well, including the daily wipedowns from water drips, etc., on the outside.

I use one on the kitchen counter and two rotating ones underneath the counter. The 2 I just purchased are inferior to the older one in that the tops are difficult to get on and off, since they don't fit exactly. Water stains do not come off easily. The stainless, especially the tops, look more like "brushed" stainless, and uneven at that, than the "satiny" stainless.

I would recommend this to a friend only with reservations.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I looked at a bunch of compost bins and thought this one was the most attractive. It didn't have the charcoal filter in the lid, but odor has not been a problem. Every time I empty the pail into the compost bin I give it a good rinse and let it air dry before using it again.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Well crafted, sturdy construction.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Why pay more when this stainless steel pail looks good and does the job! We also appreciate its larger capacity than the plastic (ug) pail we have been using while trying to figure out which one to buy from the catalog.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

We do not have a garbage disposal, my husband insists upon having a "scrap bowl" which he is not the best about taking out...we have argued and argued about this, so I started looking for "alternatives" and came to this site. I absolutely love the compost pail. It holds plenty and has a lid so it is odor free. It's attractive, not an embarassement to have sitting on the counter!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I don't compost. However, this gives me a place to put all the
organic waste that accumulates before I take it to the compost.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This compost pail fits perfectly under my sink, it's eay to pull out to add scraps, and it is a good size. Best of all, it fits into the dishwasher for regular cleaning. I love it!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This looks great on my countertop and holds enough so I am not running to the compost pile everyday! No odors either.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I use this product to collect kitchen scraps, to then later take outside for composting. I was concerned that the scraps would begin to smell, or attract bugs, but the container keeps them from getting stinky and is well sealed so bugs are not an issue. I empty it 2-3 times a week. It is aesthetically pleasing and relatively inexpensive. I can't think of any way to improve it!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I've had compost pots in the past that have handles that come off the pot....they'd fall off when you were dumping the pot and I broke more pots that way. This one has a non removable handle and still can be put in the dishwasher to clean. Wonderful!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

My local co-op farm began accepting kitchen scraps because many of the members live in deed restricted neighborhoods that don't allow composting. This compost pail is perfect for our three member household. We collect kitchen scraps all week in the pail and then take the pail to the farm. There is never any smell. The lid stays on well. The handle makes the pail easy to carry. The the pail cleans up easily so it is ready for another week of collecting. I can store the pail on the counter next to the sink, or under the sink. It is a great size.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Have just started composting and this makes an efficient, odorless solution for kitchen scraps,and easy way to transport to composter.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I line the pail with used produce bags for easy clean out. When one gets full, I simply lift out the full bag and insert another used bag. I find that it will take about 3 days for me to fill the pail. Between the snug fit of the lid and the plastic bag liner, I do not get any odors.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I collect kitchen scraps, dryer lint, and cat hair. When the pail is full, I take it outside to my large compost bin I have there.

Attrractive and simple design with no filters to pay for or to change out. The size is just right for the kitchen counter behind the sink. Lid is tight and I have had no issues with odor.

This composter made my kitchen look much "neater" . I use to use old ice cream pails. The covers are well fitted, so orders are conceled. Also they are very easy to clean.

This sure beats using an old milk jug, and it seems to be really well made.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I use my compost container all the time. Its easy to clean, etc. My only complaint it that wahen I remove the lid to add kitchen waste and replace the lid its noisy.

I am taking a Master Gardener class, and I have become involved in composting. This is the PERFECT size to keep on the counter top near the sink. I have added things to it for a week and there was no smell. I love it!! Maureen

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Much better than the ceramic can with a filter that I had. The ceramic held the smells, stained inside and the handle slipped off and the can broke. This stainless steel pail doesn't need filters, doesn't stain and the handle is secure.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

The stainless steel pail is attractive enough to leave out on the countertop. It is completely odor-free and holds more than enough kitchen scraps and coffee grounds to keep the worms in our composter happy and well-fed.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This stainless steel pail is a great way to kitchen compost. It is sturdy, the lid fits tightly to keep in odors, and the handle makes it easy to carry outside to the compost bin. Plus, the size is just right for the countertop and very easy to clean.

This product is too handsome to be tucked out of sight in the cabinet! The handle is a great feature.

This is a great value for the money. It looks nice on my countertop, and I've never had an odor problem with it.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I have used the Ceramic kitchen composer, but found them hard to clean. I empty my kitchen composter every other day and the size is perfect for that.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

It's on the counter all the time. Filled daily with kitchen scrapes.
Convenient

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This pail is attractive and easy to rinse out. Holds quite a bit.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This is way more attractive and useful than my old plastic container that did not fit in the dishwasher

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Easy to clean. Does not get stinky. Good capacity.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

We use the convenient countertop compost pail to collect kitchen scraps, not to compost them. We carry ours out every day or two and empty it into the composter in the yard. Tight fitting lid prevents odors that haven't been cooking for more than a few days from seeping into the kitchen. Attractive, simple design fits our modern kitchen. It has worked better than any container we have tried to adapt to the purpose, and costs much less than the fancy ones with replacable carbon parts. If you empty if often, like any garbage pail, and keep it clean there are no odors to cover up with carbon.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This stainless compost pail is a must for any composter. Looks nice on the counter, no smells, and is a great price!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I had used a ceramic kitchen compost container for several years. To minimize the chance of breaking it, I brought a plastic pail in and dumped contents to carry out to my kitchen scraps composter. My daughter broke the ceramic lid and I ocrdered the pail to replace the ceramic container. Now I can take the pail directly outside to the kitchen composter.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This is the best kitchen countertop compost container ever! The lid fits well; it requires NO charcoal filters; there is no odor; it holds about a week's worth of kitchen scraps and coffee grounds; the handle is comfortable and makes it easy to dump, and it's so easy to clean. Most important is that we don't have to worry if we accidentally bang it at the composter, since it can't break! I would purchase this again without hesitation.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I have tried to use a similar product before, but it attracted fruit flies and finally broke. a year or so later, when I placed an order, this stainless steele one was on sale so I decided to give it a try. I am glad I did!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

It is easy to clean

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I have had food scraps from onions to banana peels in my compost pail for over two weeks and there is not the slighest hint of an odor. Even when I open it to add something else, I am amazed that there is no foul smelling odor. The pail is also very durable and was the largest size I could find for a kitchen pail. I am extremely pleased with my purchase.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

We use this product to put all our fruit and veg. peels into year around and dump in another larger airriated on to compost so it can go back into the garden as fertilizer. IT is easy to clean and is odorless. Love it.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

really good to have a handy container; that encourages appropriate composting!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Had it for 4 years, and it's still perfect.I just hated smelly plastic pails. I haven't regretted a penny I spent on it.

I use it for wedding gifts. The girls really like it, and you can be sure it won't be a duplicate.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Not only is the item useful and attractive[...]I am very impressed!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I was afraid to start saving kitchen waste because I thought it would smell. My stainless steel compost pail does not smell at all. I don't even know it is there. I fill it up and then empty it into my outdoor composter. My trash weight has lighted considerable. I would recommend it to everyone.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I bought one of these pails for my compost scraps. I later bought a second matching one for scraps destined for the worm bin. They are simple and easy to clean, seem fairly sturdy, and are attractive enough to leave out on the counter.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This is the easiest way to collect kitchen compost materials. No mess, easy clean up and no bags. Just wish it was larger!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This is the second one I have bought. I sent one to my sister-in-law and she loved it. It matches my canisters and stainless steel appliance.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This pail is simple, works great, and looks good on the counter. I use it with the biobags and there is no odor.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I use this every day for holding fruit/vegetable scraps until I toss them in my vegetable garden.There is no odor I am very pleased with this product.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I am thrilled to finally find a counter top compost pail that is family friendly (ie not breakable ceramic, and easily washed by all ages). Its natural pail shape has no hidden crevices that necessitate extra scrubbing and the shape enables easy dumping of contents. The handle is riveted so no fears of the handle popping out when transporting a full bucket.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Great on the countertop. Easy to remember to "go green"

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I put all of our vege/fruit scraps from meal prep in this bucket. It holds an ideal amount. Any bigger and it really wouldn't look nice on the counter. It never has a foul odor and it washes up nicely after we dump it in our composter. I like this so much better than the compost bio- bags. Well worth the $$$.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I enjoy that this product is simple without replaceable filters and stands up well to potential dents and dings.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Lid fits nice and tight. So much better looking (and smelling) than the old plastic container we'd used.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

We use our stainless steel compost pail in our kitchen and it is perfect for our home. We keep it under the sink, but when it is on the counter, it looks great and there is odor. The capacity for scraps is perfect for the average kitchen. We empty the compost contents into our larger, outside compost bin about every 3 days.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Simple and attractice way to collect kitchen scraps on a daily basis.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

After cracking my old kitchen compost pot, I decided to get the practical stainless steel kitchen composter. Not only is it attractive, but the bio bags lift out of this one easier than my old crock pot composter as there is no lip around the edge.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This pail is used in my kitchen. The lid fits very tightly so no odors are noticed. There are no seams to separate. It rinses out well after emptying. I would buy another if and when needed and I would give as a gift.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Easy to use

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I use my pail for all kitchen non-meat scraps and coffee grounds. When it is full, I carry it out to my "pile" along with yard and garden waste. I leave the lid off, which allows some drying and thus less smell. I would have like a little more capacity.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I had some reservations about purchasing this due to some negative reviews on problems with the seam. Well, they addressed this by eliminating the seam. We are very happy with it and find it attractive.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Now I just need to invest in the outside compost bin to keep these scraps and outside leaves, etc in

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Along with the biobag, excellent solution to accumulating compost in the kitchen for transport to your composter.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

very nice product attractive

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

My sister gave us a stainless compost pail from your catalog several years ago. Ours is a little different from your current model (shiny, more like a traditional, old-fashioned pail). We use it everyday with the liners, and it is incredibly convenient! The lid prevents any odors from escaping, it never stains, it is easy to clean, and the handle makes it easy to take it out to the garden and bury the garbage. The liners enable us to simply grab the bag and toss the garbage into the hole we dig (right in the garden), and it all rots without our having to do a thing! Thanks for a great product!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

A simple and effective means to collect kitchen waste for the compost pile at a fair price

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Wanted a compost pail for the kitchen counter, and this one looks good and is very functional. Easy to clean, doesn't retain odors and is just the right size.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

The stainless steel composting bucket was a hit on Christmas morning! Very happy with the weight and overall construction, and it's appearance on the kitchen counter is a huge improvement over the white plastic bucket used for years!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This is a great product. I had been looking for a durable, attractive and conveniently sized kitchen compost container. It cleans well, and holds the smell in while waiting to take it out to the compost. I like the quality construction. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

Odor free and good for short term compost collection.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Sturdy stainless steel construction that looks good on the kitchen counter.Good capacity for kitchen scraps.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Really like this pail...we empty it daily, so don't think it is the kind to be left on your counter too long..maybe 2/3 days at most

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This pail has plenty of capacity, is clean looking enough to live on the kitchen counter and is easy to keep clean. I'm giving one to my sister.

This is easy to clean and hold a lot. I bought one for my daughter too. It is the best value that I've seen.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

ordered for my sister who is an avid gardener. she specifically requested this item for christmas to replace a ceramic one which had chipped and cracked. she'd done a ton of research, and in her estimation, this one was perfect. she was not disappointed.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I use this product to collect kitchen scraps, and take them to my compost pile.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I've used it since the day I bought it which was about May '09. The only problem I have is it is rusting where the lid knob meets the lid. I don't let it sit in water so I think when I wash it some water is trapped and the piece holding the two together is now rusting. So far it hasn't fallen apart though.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Absolutely recommend. It fits right in with our stainless decor. No mess, no odor, looks great.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This composting pail appeared to be just what I was looking for. A composting pail for our kitchen that is a durable material, dishwasher safe, easy to clean, would not absorb odors and easy to carry out to our outdoor composter. Everything is durable except the pull on top of the lid. It broke off the second day we used it. It is being returned!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

The stainless steel makes this product very easy to clean; after disposing the waste into your compost and a quick cleaning, there is no staining and no residual odor. I really like this product, however the handle/knob on the lid is not attached well and UNLESS you are handy with repairing things I would not recommend this product. I repaired it by saudering it back together.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I greatly prefer this stainless steel compost bucket to a plastic one I used previously. This bucket is sturdy, attractive, easy to clean, and odor-free, with a lid that is easy to remove one-handed.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Easy to clean.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Works great next to kitchen sink for kitchen scraps and then an easy carry to the compost and quick clean up.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This is a nice light weight pail to haul the scraps to the composter

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Great to hold a day or more worth of kitchen scraps. Is pretty enought to garner counter space. Just getting into the habit of throwing compostable scraps into it, instead of the garbage can. Yeah, future compost

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

looks like the place the handles are attached might rust-hoping not! Otherwise it is much better than the ice cream container we were using for composting materials!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Like the container but after using it for about 2 weeks found rust around the lid handle.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

The lid fits nicely. Keeps down odor and pests. Handle makes it easy to carry out. Steel makes it easy to clean. Liked mine so much, I gave one to my sister.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This product makes composting from the kitchen an easy thing to do.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I was using plastic ice cream tubs that kept cracking. I'm so glad I purchased the stainless one. It's the perfect size and so easy to clean. I definitely recommend it.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Easy to place compostable items in and then take to the compost pile when full. It never leaks odors and is easy to clean.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This is a great compost pot. Dishwashable, attractive, simple, easy to use, inexpensive. No fuss. Classic. love it!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

We live on a quarter-acre close-in suburban setting. Just updated our kitchen with stainless steel appliances and our new compost pail fits in beautifully with the new decor. Love that it is dishwasher-friendly and love the handle for ease of carrying out back to my rolling composter.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I couldn't be happier with this bucket. It's attractive on the sink and doesn't smell -- despite the fact that it doesn't have a filter. It's very easy to clean and odors don't linger inside as they do with plastic.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This was a great solution to my countertop compost container. I LOVE the bio bags that go with it. It doesn't hold odors like plastic containers do and it's super easy to empty using the bags.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This product matches my kitchen. It is great to put fruit rinds, coffee grounds in - no smell and easy to clean!!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

After just a few days of (gentle) use, the knob on the lid fell off and there was no way to repair it. The screw had sheared off. This was very aggravating.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I had a ceramic kitchen counter-top compost container, but the seal was not tight, which attracted fruit flies. The ridge under the top lip of the container was difficult to clean. Eventually, the top was dropped on the floor and broke. The brushed aluminum pail is a thousand times better for a number of reason, including a tight seal, attractive, no odor, more capacity, easy to clean, and will not break if dropped. I highly recommend this product.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

After using 2 other types of kitchen compost containers, one made of plastic and the other made of copper, this is by far the best because it does not hold onto odors (after cleaning) and it's easy to clean due to its stainless steel composition.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I really enjoyed this product, but after 2 years, the seam split in the dishwaser. Would have been a better unit if it had been a shaped single piece of stainless steal instead of a seamed piece.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

We keep this on the kitchen counter and when full take it out to the compost bin. It works great, looks attractive and there is no odor.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This was my husband's favorite Christmas gift last year. Believe it or not, it has gotten compliments from friends who have seen it. I am giving 2 this year. It is attractive, easy to clean, easy to carry and empty, and doesn't give itself away, if you happen to leave it on your kitchen counter.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

WE had purchased one of your ceramic compost pail (which we loved) but my husband accidentally broke the top so... The stainless one has a great capacity; is easy to clean and matches our stainless appliances. I love it! Kate

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I like the fact that it is lightweight, easy to clean and the hande makes it easy to carry. the lid fits tight which is important with 8 cats around.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This is a simple container that works well for a kitchen container for compostable stuff. Forget the charcoal filter lids - just use this and empty as needed. Washes up well

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

The compost pail is attractive, holds so much, doesn't smell and is easy to clean. What more could you want? I have given it as a gift.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

We really like this compost pail because it is strong with an attached sturdy handle and easy to clean.

Our only issue is when the top is put on tightly or even so slightly the scraps begin to smell right away. There are no "breathing holes" in the top.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

We really like this compost pail because it is solid and has an attached sturdy handle. It is also very easy to clean.

The only problem we have had with this pail is that when you put the top on it scraps begin to smell very quickly. The top has no holes in it like the other pails have.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Looked good and was just the right height for our counter set-up, but alas, it cracked.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

We have one of these at our cabin and it is surprising how much capacity it has for holding kitchen scraps. It is lightweight and easy to carry from the kitchen counter to the compost pile. Very attractive. I would like one for our downstate house but need something more compact for that kitchen, something that will fit next to the kitchen faucet, so I am temporarily using a rectangular plastic tub, which fits better but doesn't look as nice.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I like this pail for compost very much, but it bent so badly that the top doesn't fit and it is now unusable.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

I looked for an afordable kitchen compost pail for quite some time and when I saw this one I purchased it about a year ago. I like it so much that today I am purchasing it for a gift for a friend. It looks nice on the counter and keeps orders in. It also cleans up easily. A great improvement over the icecream pail I had been using.

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

This compost pail is excellent to keep in the kitchen until you are ready to empty into your compost pile. The pail is attractive and holds quite a bit of material. I've had this completely full with kitchen scraps and the lid keeps any odor from escaping. Great buy!!

Comments about Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail:

Loved this compost pail when first purchased. The size is perfect for a kitchen counter and it's virtually odor-free. However, after several months of use, the pail cracked down the side. This is a stainless steel pail and should have lasted a very, very long time! Buyer beware!
